Yes, I'm very aware of problems in online family trees, but I have sourced a particular tree, as I've matured in genealogy, I realize how much work that goes into it. I copy & paste the URL for the particular information page and add it into the source comments. I realize this might not be very helpful in a report, but for webpages, it's good, also it helps me when I go back to that particular person in my Legacy file. Syble

I'm adding a source of "XYZ family tree" and where I found it and noting the information that came from that tree (i.e., dates/places/etc) I feel like I could/should be doing something a little more or different.
